"Burning Love" Lyrics and Downloads

Lord Almighty, I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher, it's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl, girl, you gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming, I don't know which way to go

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming, I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning, burning, and nothing can cool me
I just might turn into smoke, but I feel fine

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like a sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
With burning love

It's coming closer, the flames are reaching my body
Please won't you help me, I feel like I'm slipping away
It's hard to breathe, and my chest is a-heaving
Lord Almighty, I'm burning a hole where I lay

Cause your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
With burning love
Ah, ah, burning love
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love
